Salty tales from the desert
Trip Start
Sep 16, 2002
Trip End
May 31, 2004
So after the southern delights of Chile in Torres del Paine, it was time for the sequel and to finish off what I started in this ribbon shaped land. Once again I left Argentina and crossed the border into the middle of Chile and headed towards Pucon.
It was in this little town sitting on the lake Villarrica and in the distance the active Volcano of the same name would summon me to climb her because it was there and I was bored.
So I joined an international team including Dutch, Norwegian and French to head up the snowy cone. Unfortunately our guide was a little subdued and I later learned this was because the tour company he worked for had one client injured during a recent climb. The volcano is covered with hard snow and so it is important not to slip otherwise you slide very quickly and uncontrollably downhill. Which is what happened to one individual. Fortunately the person was not badly injured. However this meant that our ascent was a little on the slow side. After walking for only 10 minutes we were told to take a 5 minute break. Maybe he was tired, but I had the feeling he was maybe being a little overcautious and hoping we would not make it to the top. Which is exactly what happened.
As we got closer the wind picked up and clouds could be seen swirling around the summit. Not a good sign. And along with another group we had to abandon the hike. We were only about 200 metres off the summit. Instead we just admired the hazy view of the surrounding Andes and the silver lake Villarrica below. Although on the way down we were allowed (reluctantly) to slide down on our backsides which made up for the disappointment
The days of lazing in Pucon finally ended and we headed for the capital Santiago. The city in a bowl of dust. Imprisoned by a wall of mountains and lying in a sort of bowl-like depression, the city has a bit of a pollution problem. If you go up one of the small hills overlooking the city you see this suspended veil of dust covering the city. And poking through the top are the white tips of the Andean peaks. While staying in Santiago I did the wine tour thing, and treated my taste buds to one of the best reds I think I have ever tasted. For all you winos out there it was (Concha y Torro) Trio - Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a kind of full body, woody flavour with a hint of orange .....
Next stop was Valparaiso on the Chilean coast. The famous Naval city. Picture streets with sailors walking around, winding alleyways and stairways and funiculars leading up the 45 hills scattered throughout the city. It was from here that the Chilean Navy (assisted by the British Navy) defeated the Spanish Armada over the war of Independence. And later on in the war of the Pacific when Chile went to war and defeated Bolivia and Peru over the mineral-rich territory of the Atacama.
In fact it seems Chile seems to have been at odds with all its neighbours. Not only has it upset Peru and Bolivia, but Argentina aren�t to happy with them either for supporting the British in the Falklands war.
Passing through Vi�a del Mar (Vineyard of the Sea) and then heading northwards where the climate and terrain start to become drier and more desolate.....the Atacama desert, the world's driest. Plonked in the middle is the small town San Pedro de Atacama. Getting nearer Bolivia and the people are changing (more indigenous). Ignoring the town this place feels like you have just landed on Mars. Funny that because NASA do testing here because of that very reason. Just north you have the steaming geysers of El Tatio. And south are the salts flats which also spread out into Bolivia ( where the biggest ones can be found ). I cycle through this moonscape land of red furnace valleys, sand dunes and earth scarred with strange rock formations. As the end of the day draws near, the sun paints on the desert canvas using its colour palette of red, yellow, orange, green and violet.... and with the sun slowly sinking, the temperature starts to bite and the brightest stars sparkle and pierce the dry desert air.
Then Chile gave way to one more jaunt into Argentina, Salta to be exact. Already been here far too long, but one day I met an intrepid ( mad? ) cyclist called Alistair who is currently cycling around the world ( website below ). Having done Africa he is now doing the Americas. Now I dont quite know how this happened, but after talking to him for a few hours I went out and bought myself a bike. And I am not the first person he inspired to adopt this new mode of transport. Obviously there is something quite appealing about cycling through villages, valleys and stunning landscapes. Besides it was time for a change from the norm. There is only so much sightseeing and bussing you can do before it wears thin. I would always wander what I was missing out on when passing through by bus. Wouldn't it be nice to stop off and take a look around?
So its off to Bolivia and Peru.....by bike.

This Program Is Rebroadcast From Februrary 5, 2013.
Japan's old politics by other means — the real, thousand-year history of the ninja.
The world, our imaginations, can't seem to get enough of ninja. The original men in black.
We see them skittering over rooftops in the night. Unknowable. Unstoppable. Or maybe as teenage mutant turtles. Whipping nunchuks. Righting wrongs.
The real history of the ninja has had a hard time keeping up with the lore. It goes back to medieval Japan, and poor villagers using stealth and guile to thwart powerful warlords. They were the anti-samurai. Homegrown guardians of a proto-democracy. Of ninjutsu.
This hour, On Point: the real history of the ninja.
-Tom Ashbrook
John Man, author of "Ninja: 1,000 Years Of The Shadow Warrior."
From Tom's Reading List
Asian Review of Books "Like sumo wrestlers, samurai, shogun, and other Japanese archetypes, ninja are known outside Japan mostly by exaggerated and often fictionalized characteristics. The exaggerations include their black hooded uniforms and superhuman abilities like walking on water or scaling vertical walls. Ninja have been made even more cartoonish because of the popularity of the comic book and animation series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. John Man helps rectify the misunderstandings about ninja, which is not an easy task as their origins and practices are in the shadows of Japanese history."
BBC News "Japan's era of shoguns and samurai is long over, but the country does have one, or maybe two, surviving ninjas. Experts in the dark arts of espionage and silent assassination, ninjas passed skills from father to son – but today's say they will be the last."

[Photo: The Dallas Boys]
I'm on my Jet Blue flight home from a whirlwind trip to NYC. I'm trying to catch up with work, knowing there's a whole lot more where that came from once I land and check my email. That dreaded gmail inbox. I know my husband who started Fantastic Fest yesterday is back up at the Alamo hoping I get there sooner than later. I'm crossing my fingers I have time to see my most anticipated Fantastic fest films this weekend—Take Shelter, Snowtown, We Don't Need to Talk About Kevin and You're Next.
The last day of industry meetings was probably my favorite. I certainly left with a wealth of knowledge, inspiration and eagerness to get home and debrief my Nikki cohorts. We have a shit ton to do. That's my new catch phrase … "shit ton" and "wheelhouse". Everyone keeps using "wheelhouse". I'm still a little confused what it means, but it certainly sounds cool and adult.
Highlights of our trip besides the IFP— seeing Michael Arndt walking down Broadway, hanging with the Dallas boys over a weird, hilarious lunch, getting teary-eyed watching some woman sing opera at the San Gennaro fest and getting as much quality time as I could with my friends.
Now my efforts turn toward Love Me. We head into production on Wednesday and I fly to Calgary on Monday. I'll soak up everything I can as the screenwriter watching my script come to life through other people's hands. It's definitely a very different experience than the scrappy DIY indie world I'm used to.
On behalf of the Nikki is a Punk Rocker crew, we're so super grateful to Rooftop Films, Mark Elijah Rosenberg, the IFP and all the industry folks who advised, challenged and showed genuine support and interest in our project.
I'm excited to land in Austin, decompress a tiny, tiny bit then follow up with all the kick ass people we met during our 2011 IFP adventure.

Forrest Griffin's Legacy; By the Numbers
By JAKE CHASTAIN
| Whenever a fighter leaves the UFC they usually leave a lasting mark on the company. Every fighter leaves a different mark though.
Whether it be by shaking up a division, losing and in turn helping someone else climb the division ladder, having a dispute with the big-wigs and becoming an example, or leaving a lasting legacy that fans and UFC family will never forget, each fighter becomes a different story in the company's ongoing saga.
But stories, as much as they may differ from fighter to fighter, can only tell so much about how that fighter performed their job for the company. Numbers, though, can tell a lot about how good of an employee a certain fighter was.
Following UFC 160 longtime fan favorite and UFC legend Forrest Griffin announced his retirement from fighting. Forrest's story in UFC history tops almost every other fighter's but what is going to make him a lasting legend and Hall of Famer is that Forrest, along with his remarkable story of becoming a key player in the sport's jump into the mainstream, also has the statistical numbers to back up his story.
Here is a look at just how successful and dedicated a fighter/employee Forrest Griffin was for the UFC by the numbers.
The following is brought to you by FightMetric.com:

Anderson silva ended his career. He wasn't the same after that loss.
Don't be a pee pee or better yet a dick. Show some respect. The guy had allot of great moments also. Anderson Silva beat allot of people. Don't measure this guy or what he accomplished on just that fight. How about all the great ones he had?

"Better read than heard"
I think I would enjoy reading rather than hearing this book. Too many characters make it difficult to keep track of where the story is heading...
"Great Insight"
Gave a good insight of a champion. I could see the effort that goes into making a champion. Also he loved his journey unlike Andre Agassi which is also inspiring.
I thought I would get a book on the human side of Jesus but all I got was how the bible is historically inaccurate. It did not add anything to my understanding of Jesus as a human being though this is what the author says he set out to explain.
It was an absorbing story and kept me guessing till the end. But I did not like the ending. Was not satisfying after investing so much emotion into the audiobook!!
"Most outrageous autobiography Ive heard"
Most outrageous life Ive heard so far. His struggle days were inspiring. But his downward spiral from the early 90s was too much!! At one point, the only thing he seemed to be doing were drugs and women. After being blessed to get out of the ghetto, how could he screw up so badly!!
Mike Tyson of course, outrageous and interesting always.
Mike Tyson...
I was stunned most of the time. I was like... does this really happen !!
Cautionary tale on how not to screw your life!!
It was a very heartwarming story. I loved the fact that he loves his family. Was tired of dysfunctional family and abusive parent stories of so many celebrities. Though very American in his experiences, I found myself absorbed.
His start in the stand up business...
Ive watched his movies and his autobiography was what I expected..
I laughed out loud many times....
"Great fun"
Was great fun. I found his experiences to be very interesting and found his outlook to life refreshing.
His teenage years and his start in the standup circuit....
I started following Michael Mcintyre after this performance.
Laugh out loud !!
Highly recommended
"Not my cup of tea..."
Ive recently been hearing a lot of the autobiographies of stand up comedians like Billy Crystal and Michael Macintyre though Im not very familiar with their work. I like listening to their take of life. They seem to see the lighter side of life. I also felt their experiences to be universal. However with Jennifer Saunders I just could not identify with any of her experiences. I guess a working knowledge of her work or being British would help.
"Depressing but engaging"
The book is really dark with depressing characters. Nothing good happens to any of them. However if you can accept the dark and depressing theme, the book is quite good and engaging. It keeps you guessing till the end. The way the plot is unfolded is intriguing. Though I did feel a bit depressed at times, at the end of the book I was glad I heard it.
"An okay read"
Ive heard a lot of books on the 2008 meltdown, on Bernie Madoff, Lehman Bros etc. So maybe Im already a bit jaded by this genre. This book didnt say anything new. Its the usual story of Wall Street greed. I actually liked the fist part of the book. It gave me a good insight on working life on Wall Street.
"good fun"
Really enjoyed it on the first hearing. Loved it on the second. My favourite piece was Tex Hooper.....

My Yellow Boy
My husband and I actually purchased our C.J. in 1990 for 3.50 at a local pet store that was always our running joke about him all this trouble for 3.50. Sadly, C.J. passed in 11/08 I never knew how much you could hurt with the passing of a cat he was kinda our whole life I can't even mention his name without crying, but it makes me feel better that he had a long and happy life with us.

The graded pairs competition for men and women was played off over the weekend at Ramat Gan. Ramat Gan's Rami Oron with Ra'anana's Denis Phillips claimed the men's trophy against Savyon's Haviv Takin paired with Ramat Gan's Danny Slodovnik. For the women Kiryat Ono's Ruthie Gilor with Ramat Gan's Riki Ovadia beat the Ramat Gan pairing of Tami Kamzel and Mazal Reuven.
The competition catered for the 24 top-ranked players comprising 12 selected skips paired with 12 leads and then divided into two sections of six pairs each. A feature of the competition was that in each of the preliminary rounds, leads were interchanged.
The men's game witnessed excellent bowling by all four players. Very little was conceded between the two leads Phillips and Slodovnik, leaving the skips to settle issues. Oron rarely failed to deliver dead accurate bowls, to the frustration of his opponents. With the score at 15-all Oron/Phillips collected five in the remaining three ends for a final 20-16 win.
Yet again it was Ruthie Gilor verses Tami Kamzel settling the issue in their final's encounter. This time Gilor with Ovadia were the steadier of the two pairings, coming through with their six-shot win.

Oops she did it again ... Has Britney Spears been caught in the act of lip-synching again? Photo: Roderick Norman Trestrail II
She's no stranger to lip-synching controversies but this time Britney Spears has been accused of lip-synching to Sia's vocals.
A video from Spears' Vegas residency has been posted by a fan to Instagram. On the video Sia's distinctive vocals can be heard clearly singing the song Perfume, while Spears can be heard faintly singing along.
Hidden face: A photograph of Sia released to promote her new songs and album.
The prolific Aussie who co-wrote the song along with Spears provided back-up vocals for the pop star on an acoustic mix of the song and sings a chorus without Spears on the re-release.
The video was posted to an Instagram page set up by a fan called britneysite.
"The 32-year-old pop star struts around and holds her microphone, seemingly singing sweet ballad Perfume – but Sia's voice is booming through the theatre!" Radar Online reported.
Spears has been called out for lip-synching on numerous occasions during her Las Vegas residency show, with fans posting videos to social media sites supposedly showing the singer miming.
"You can hear her and Sia's voice lmfao dying," one fan commented on this recent Instagram video.
However, this time, some fans are offering alternate views relating to the vocal mix.
One theory for this particular gaffe is that Sia's backing vocals on the track were played louder than Spears' lead vocals during the live show.
"Sia is the back up singer in the chorus. What's the big deal?" one person commented.
Another fan on Instagram had a theory that Spears uses Sia's track just as an in-monitor guide when she sings but it was mixed in, accidentally, to the live show.
"Only this time it (the guide track) was put into the house mix, making for an embarassing accident," they commented.
The 32-year-old just recently returned to her Piece Of Me show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas following a brief break. The singer began her residency there in December 2013.
Spears seemed pleased with how her return performance had gone down, tweeting "Incredible night getting to do what I love! Thx to everyone at the show tonight. Hope y'all had as much fun as I did!"

Comments about MSR MicroRocket Stove:
I bought this little stove for a three day hike in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I knew nothing about these stoves and bought it with little research. This stove performed flawlessly and with very little effort. It is very lightweight and very easy to set up. It boils a 2 cup pot of water in less than 4 minutes. I did not have to deal with high wind but it throws off a lot of heat and should perform well in windy conditions. It packs up very small and is great for lightwieght hiking.

Nonlinear photoacoustic microscopy via a loss modulation technique: from detection to imaging |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 1, pp. 525-536 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1519 KB)
In order to achieve high-resolution deep-tissue imaging, multi-photon fluorescence microscopy and photoacoustic tomography had been proposed in the past two decades. However, combining the advantages of these two imaging systems to achieve optical-spatial resolution with an ultrasonic-penetration depth is still a field with challenges. In this paper, we investigate the detection of the two-photon photoacoustic ultrasound, and first demonstrate background-free two-photon photoacoustic imaging in a phantom sample. To generate the background-free two-photon photoacoustic signals, we used a high-repetition rate femtosecond laser to induce narrowband excitation. Combining a loss modulation technique, we successfully created a beating on the light intensity, which not only provides pure sinusoidal modulation, but also ensures the spectrum sensitivity and frequency selectivity. By using the lock-in detection, the power dependency experiment validates our methodology to frequency-select the source of the nonlinearity. This ensures our capability of measuring the background-free two-photon photoacoustic waves by detecting the 2nd order beating signal directly. Furthermore, by mixing the nanoparticles and fluorescence dyes as contrast agents, the two-photon photoacoustic signal was found to be enhanced and detected. In the end, we demonstrate subsurface two-photon photoacoustic bio-imaging based on the optical scanning mechanism inside phantom samples.

ALAPPUZHA: An Alappuzha-based company has staked a claim to having woven the world's longest handloom coir doormat.
The mat, 101.6 metres long, 1.2 metres wide, 30 mm thick and weighing 999 kg, was unveiled at a press conference by Travancore Cocotuft (P) Limited chief executive officer P. Mahadevan at the factory at Thiruvizha near Cherthala on Wednesday.
The mat was made by two workers, spending 111 man-days over a span of four months, inserting 4,70,000 coir tufts between alternate wefts of coir yarn.
The production cost of the handloom mat was a little over Rs.4 lakh, the company sources said.

Newsmax.com - Healthy Lifestyle Triggers Genetic Changes Healthy Lifestyle Triggers Genetic Changes Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday. In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy. The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of daily stress management methods such as meditation. As expected, they lost weight, lowered their blood pressure and saw other health improvements. But the researchers found more profound changes when they compared prostate biopsies taken before and after the lifestyle changes. After the three months, the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes -- including 48 that were turned on and 453 genes that were turned off. The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research was led by Dr. Dean Ornish, head of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, and a well-known author advocating lifestyle changes to improve health. "It's an exciting finding because so often people say, 'Oh, it's all in my genes, what can I do?' Well, it turns out you may be able to do a lot," Ornish, who is also affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco, said in a telephone interview. "'In just three months, I can change hundreds of my genes simply by changing what I eat and how I live?' That's pretty exciting," Ornish said. "The implications of our study are not limited to men with prostate cancer." Ornish said the men avoided conventional medical treatment for prostate cancer for reasons separate from the study. But in making that decision, they allowed the researchers to look at biopsies in people with cancer before and after lifestyle changes. "It gave us the opportunity to have an ethical reason for doing repeat biopsies in just a three-month period because they needed that anyway to look at their clinical changes (in their prostate cancer)," Ornish said.

Let my Fred's Posse Ride: Georges, 3sus, Hallice, Deonte, Dustin, Abdel, Monte, Matt, and McKaT.
Phenotype = Genetics + Environment + (Interaction of Genetics and Environment) This simple equation is essentially what this study is verifying. Your phenotype (observable traits of a person) are the product of your genes, your environment and the interaction of the environment with your genes. For example, your height is largely a function of your genetics. Malnutrition will have an impact, but your height is largely determined by your genes. Your language or accent is a product of your environment. Genes may impact your vocal qualities, but you speak a certain language with a certain accent because of the environment to which you were exposed (Think kid of Asian descent speaking with a heavy English accent) . This study describes the interaction of genetics with the environment. Certain genetic traits may be significantly impacted by the environment. This is nothing new, and it really underlies all dietary research whether the researchers know it or not. BTW, Ornish is a bit of a whack job.
